description
The honeycomb blinds seen exclusively on ABC's Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. Select Blinds 3/8" single cell light filtering cellular shades are made from 100% polyester fabric that is very durable yet unbelievably soft to the touch. These single cell honeycomb blinds are available in a great selection of colors and have a neutral backing to assure a uniform appearance from the street.

I am very happy with the blinds I ordered. They were shipped in a very timely manner and packaged so there would not be any damage. The blinds are quality and the installation was a snap. I just received some more woven woods samples and will have another order ready very soon.

Excellent product to replace old worn out cheap vinyl blinds. Great for filtering light but still providing privacy. Produces a nice soft feel compared to the light the blinds let in.

All cellular shades except Vuthru
Width
  • Measure the exact width (left to right) of the wooden or metal window frame or how wide you would like the blind or shade to be.
  • Make sure to measure wide enough as to cover the entire window and provide maximum light gap coverage. Example: If the window opening is 72", it might be helpful to order 76". This will provide 2" coverage on each side of the window.
  • There is no rule on the width of blinds other than to make sure that it is wide enough to cover the opening.
  • Fabric will be made at ordered width and headrail will be ordered width plus ¼"
  • Write down that size making sure that it is the first number of the measurement.
Height
  • Measure the height you would like the blind to be by measuring top to bottom.
  • We recommend adding about 3 or 4 inches to this number to insure maximum light gap coverage and to cover the window completely.
  • Please be sure to know that the height measurement will always include the headrail. Example: if the height ordered is 50" this will be the height including the headrail (from the very top of the headrail to the bottom rail).
  • You will want to mount the headrail above the window frame. Please make a note that some windows have trim that might interfere with mounting so it's important to measure above the trim if this is the case.
*width and length measurements may vary +/- 1/8"

  • There is no rule on the width of blinds other than to make sure that it is wide enough to cover the opening.
  • Write down that size making sure that it is the first number of the measurement. This is the width you will order.
  • Headrail will measure ordered width plus 3/8".

  • You will want to mount the headrail above the window frame. Please make a note that some windows have trim that might interfere with mounting so it's important to measure above the trim if this is the case.
